Newest feature which is added on Pinterest and it’s not just another tool for promoting pins. It’s about creating, joining and building communities on specific topics, ideas, categories and more.
The community feature can be understood with this single statement: Pinterest Communities have (in a way) made Pinterest an engaging social platform + search engine.
Yes, that’s right. Pinterest is also a social platform.
Communities will have people sharing things on similar topics or what that community is about.
Your communities can be categories of blog, blogging niche or a certain topic you like. Anything like: Blog Tips, Social Media, Beauty, Fashion, Recipes, Parenting & more.
Before we know how to make your community on Pinterest, let’s know some amazing and essential things about them.
Important things about Pinterest Communities:
- · Communities on Pinterest are different than Pinterest boards as members could also share in community.
- · Weird yet Wonderful- No Pinterest Communities can have same names/titles. This means once name is taken by other person, another Community cannot be created with exact name. If “Bloggers” is taken, create something similar like “Blogging Tips”.
- · “Sticky Post” option lets the creator/admin of community to pin the most important or interesting post on top of other posts in community.
- · Communities will help in building loyal audience for bloggers and marketers.
- · Pinterest Communities will be more engaging than boards because people can like, comment on what you post.
- · It’s not made simply for promoting own pins and content. It’s about sharing other people’s work, and being engaged in the community.
- · No Spamming! After joining communities do not promote own content constantly and follow rules.
